Refugees Return to Rwanda

(23 Oct 08 - RV) President Paul Kagame of Rwanda has said that a summit of African leaders was a chance to remind them that they needed to do more to enhance and benefit from integration. He was speaking during the official opening of the first meeting of 3 African Development Associations in Kampala, Uganda. Rwanda has become a regional leader, with record levels of growth. But the country, which is landlocked, needs better integration with its neighbours in order to expand its economy.
Over a decade after a genocide which killed nearly a million people, Rwanda has become an example of good governance in Africa. The country has also begun accepting back the hundreds of thousands of refugees which fled the violence of the 1990’s. Bishop William Pascal Kikoti of Mpanda, in Tanzania, tells us about the thousands of refugees leaving his diocese.
